After discovering the red wine mee suah dish at Jalan Ipoh, I started asking around about this dish and got a recommendation from a friend Chris that I should check out Old Fuzhou Restaurant at Damansara Kim, so I did.
Update 19/2/2018: This place has since closed.
Old Fuzhou restaurant at Damansara Kim
Old Fuzhou is located at the side of Super Tanker at Damansara Kim. A corner restaurant with less than a dozen marbled table and classic wooden chairs. It has a bit of the old school Chinese charm, but also equipped with air conditioning for your comfort. Pretty neat.
Menu isn’t very extensive, but you have a selection of noodle & rice dishes, with some dinner sets and ala carte as well.
red wine mee suah, one of my favorite foochow dishes
Of course, I went for the signature dish – red wine mee suah (RM 9.90). It is simple and unpretentious, with chunks of chicken, some ginger, black fungus, and of course, mee suah. I do like the soup base a bit more than the version at Sentul as it is thicker and more flavorful. For the price, it’s definitely a dish to recommend.
Haze & KY, red wine fried rice, soya bean curd
Haze tried the pretty unique red wine fried rice (similar price) which is probably a bit of an acquired taste. Similar ingredients but in the form of rice, you do get some green peas though. I gave it a try and thought it’s pretty delicious as well.
Most individual noodle dishes at Old Fuzhou are priced below RM 10, other htan mee suah, there’s loh mee, wantan mee, minced pork noodle, and even Hakka stew pork noodle. I’ll certainly be back to try some of their other stuff after I’m bored with red wine mee suah (which may not be so soon).

KY, red wine in Chinese cooking it seem like this restaurant chef gone French in a good way.
I will try it at home so far Coq Coc Vin is what I make but now some Chinese recipe and change it
to add red wine in it.
Vickie: it’s not exactly the Western type of red wine though.
KY do you of a Chinese red wine to use in cooking. I was going to use merlot.
Vickie: it’s something entirely different I think – red glutinuous wine, not made from grapes.
It is not a grape-based wine, but a rice-based wine. Red glutinous rice wine. Different animal 🙂
Visitor: thanks!
